All however formally Aquaman and the Misplaced Kingdom is the final movie within the present DC film universe. New DC co-CEO James Gunn is already engaged on his Superman film, and about 9 different films and exhibits that can all match collectively into a brand new DC film universe. That would appear to counsel that Aquaman and the Misplaced Kingdom might be the final time we see Jason Momoa as Aquaman.

After all, if the movie is as huge of successful as the primary Aquaman — which grossed over $1 billion worldwide, and is the top-grossing DC film of all time — it’s important to assume that Warners will discover a technique to prolong the franchise. And director James Wan tells Leisure Weekly that Misplaced Kingdom undoubtedly leaves room to make extra films, ought to Warner Bros. and DC wish to achieve this.

As Wan put it…

What I like between this one and the primary one is, you actually do see the expansion of Arthur. He begins off as this sort of wanderer, and in the second he lastly has extra of a route of what he desires to do along with his life. If and when there’s a third one, that is what it ought to be; it ought to be rising these characters as a result of I believe we have arrange sure issues in place within the second film you could undoubtedly draw upon in a 3rd. I haven’t got any tales, however rising the characters is the most important factor that I believe the subsequent Aquaman film ought to be about.

As to the matter of whether or not Wan himself want to direct a 3rd Aquaman, he didn’t sound very enthusastic concerning the thought.

“Oh, buddy, I do not know,” he mentioned. “This movie has taken up so, a lot of my life, a lot of my time, all I can take into consideration now’s taking an extended break.”

Aquaman and the Misplaced Kingdom is scheduled to open in theaters on December 20.
